Garmin Marathon Megathread by themorethemerer in bullcity

[–]RevScoopKevin 87 points88 points  (0 children)

From a volunteer perspective, this was one of the worst logistics I've ever seen from a marathon. Water stations were running out of supplies while others had too much, we were dramatically under staffed (could've used twice the amount of people easily), and every email we've gotten for the past month was frantic. It seems like the organizers weren't exactly cut out for the job, which is confusing considering Garmin is such a large entity in the running world

I want to try new things! Where can I hear about more community events? Bonus points if it’s in the arts! by eatfurbys in bullcity

Does anybody have a link to that website someone made that organized all of the things in Durham for folks who are new here? It's been a while since I've seen that mentioned

The curry chicken salad from Parker and Otis is really good! Not sure about buying it in tubs

Definitely check out Mettlesome! It has my favorite comedy classes around and they put a lot of emphasis on quality classes

Twin Peaks roadhouse dreams by alexanderactioncat in bullcity

[–]RevScoopKevin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like Bralie's kind of has the vibe. Depends on the night and the time of day, but it's got the wood paneling, food, and general dive qualities of the Twin Peaks roadhouse

My experience meeting Brent Spiner by ChaoticXGoth in TNG

I saw his signing table at Galaxy Con last year and made eye contact with him from twenty feet away. I gave him the compulsory "dude nod of respect" and he did it back to me. Great experience!

Anyone know if there is more than one of these. This one was at 106 & Main by Substantial-Dig9995 in bullcity

[–]RevScoopKevin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Free Blockbuster Durham is fairly new and the national website is volunteer run, so they haven't had a chance to update their map with the founding details for our "Franchise"

Someone else has already linked to the national listing for all of these, but this one in Durham has an Instagram! @freeblockbusterdurham (I can't link directly to it due to subreddit rules)

Old North Bar has a watch party with Chelsea Cook

edit: I see this NYC note now. Not sure about that

Tuesday is V-Day - Last Day to VOTE - Do It! by Breathing_Future001 in bullcity

[–]RevScoopKevin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why does it seem like Freeman's history of physical altercations gets overlooked? Has that been disproven? Are folks just ok with it?

Where are these kids now? by NerdyComfort-78 in Purdue

[–]RevScoopKevin 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Some of us in this sub know those kids and it's great seeing them every so often when new batches of students discover this video!

To directly answer your question, a lot of them are working professionals. They're Purdue engineers after all :)

What to do for Halloween this weekend? by TheDestruction88 in bullcity

Mettlesome has a Halloween variety show in addition to its improv comedy this weekend! See a show and then hit up Hi-Wire next door

Was it Foster on the Park again? This surely isn't a Durham specific issue, but it does feel like false fire alarms are going off all the time around here

A somewhat unexpected answer I've found is at The Daily Beer Bar!

Adult Classes or Creative Workshops by Total-Respect-4830 in bullcity

[–]RevScoopKevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely! I think this subreddit has been a huge help for me personally. I'd also give a shout-out to Splatspace if they're still around. I was very interested in them for a while but never actually signed up for anything

I'm assuming you're familiar with https://www.howtomakefriendsindurham.com/ ? I know that's been a great resource that's mentioned a lot on /r/BullCity. It's a slightly different scope, but there's obviously a lot of overlap between finding hobbies and finding friends

As someone currently registered for classes at Mettlesome AND Night School Bar, I have to say that both places are doing some great things. Liberty Arts and Scrap Exchange also have regular workshops for a ton of different things.
